Mr.. billiard received q letter from his wife's
brother whom he had not seer since 1849 At

California Among those who were full OF the
excitement were McCurrie and billiard They
had perfected all arrangement for going rhither,
aud were bidding the family goodby when Dill
ard falrered. The fearful eyes of McCurries
young sister touched his heart, especially as she
was weeping for him and not Cor her brother.
Throwing down his bundle. he declared that he
would stay if the girl would marry him. To
this she cheerfully agreed, SO billiard remained
a Georgia farmer, while McCurrie jumped into
the stage coach and was borne away. Since
that time he has never been heard Of
1t was with mingled feelings, therefore, that
billiard read the letter from his old comrade.
McCurrie stated that he had worked against ad
verse fortune, declining to write TO the folks at
home until he could strike it rich, but every
year found him growing poorer. and now, old,
feeble and poor, his great wish was to look
once more upon his native hills. That he could
not do unless he was sent money enough upon
which to return. MIR. billiard read the letter
to his wife and sons.

man. So cow and mule were sacrificed and
the money went on its mission across the contin-

On Monday billiard received Letter which re-
cited that James McCurrie was dead; that he
wished to test the fidelity of his sisters family:
that their prompt response TO his appeal had
moved him, and that by his will his property in
California, valued at s., 600, 900. was willeo in

Immense buttons are features in the garniture
OF fall costumes.
Epaulets of jet will be favorite ajjuncts of
fall and winter dresses.
The position Of the wearer's ears is the only
limit to the height of collars.
Mems trousers have grown so wide that they
may be reasonably spoken OF as divided skirts
Two-toned velvets are very elegant, and are
combined with plain velvet of the darker shade
color.
The old and graceful fashion OF wearing long
wells of gauze wound about the head and
shoulders is to be revived.
Muffs will be very small this winter, and will
oftener be made of the dress material, trimmed
with fur, than of fur entirely.

rows.
Very low-crowned bonnets have appeared at
last, but it is safe to assert that it will take
fully two seasons and perhaps more to make
them general.
Basqres and poloraises divide favor almost
evenly this season. the former, however, dis

Gloves of light gray and mastic kid. with the
seams Tapped, and finished about the wrist with
a strip of black leather and having several rows
of black stitching, are quite the newest.
All materials, whether silk wool, have
their appropriate ombinaton fabrics but tailor

Fur is to be a popular trimming tho coming
season for indoor and morning dresses. Chin
chilla fur is also to be popular for trimming
gray velvet with which it forms a graceful
contrast. Bands Of beaver or skunk form artis

A lady writing from abroad says that with all
travelling costumes young women and girls wear
round hats of soft felt in the shapes fashionable

Sometimes it contents itself simply with

cloak in fact asplres to be a lavishly rich outer
gown of plush for street carriage with gown

and to complete the illusion a semblance of a
coquettish short wrap adjusted above all. The
cloak is a work Of genius, but it takes money to

It is neither easy nor essential to locate the
time when this miracle of healing the IMAM sick
of the palsy was wrought but it marks one OF
the advancing steps in the manifestation or
Christ's divinity, and is an important proof OF
his messahshp. for it was here that he boldly
assumed the power TO forgive sin. AS sin In its
essential natuf is disobedience of the law OF
God. so only Gs,d can pardon it. For any mere
man or anointesf priest to assume this power Is
highest blasphenly. If Jesus had not in
many ways proved his divinity. the Jews would
have been right in treating him as a blasphemer.
